"Hey Dave Roberts, can you tell us why you think Shohei Ohtani is so great?"

[Edgy MD]

For the first three pitches to Ohtani, Álvarez wasn't even setting up a target particularly close to the strike zone.

Tommy Edman is really starting to piss me off.

$4:+

[Fman99]

Twenty four walks in 30 innings of baseball. You let me know how that works out generally speaking

[Lefty Specialist]

Grrr, Can't let this game get away.

[Lefty Specialist]

Another goddamn walk.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

That stat about eight batters who reached by walks eventually scored is telling.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cleveland wins on a walkoff HR.



I'm in a pub with both games on. The MFY game was a barnburner

[Edgy MD]

The pre-game analysis of the guy who makes people chase being up against it facing the team that doesn't chase was pretty dead-on.



Pretty gutty effort by Q nonetheless.

[Lefty Specialist]

Gotta lay off that curveball.

[Edgy MD]

Unlike most of the righthanded Mets, Vientos has been laying off the slider away, but they got him on a slider at his shins.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bases loaded- how will they not score?

[Edgy MD]

We need some Mike Cameron here.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo safe.

[metirish]

1st base ump is having a 'mare

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It doesn't matter how ugly

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo tore down that line like he had a dishwasher on his back.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Álvarez — table setter.



Oh and ...

My reverse psychology worked!



You're welcome.

[metirish]

Damn

[Lefty Specialist]

I know Nimmo is gutting it out, but that second run is on him.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vientos is where it started.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rough defense and a walk did them in again.

[Fman99]

Baseball giveth and baseball taketh away

[Centerfield]

Turned it on to see we picked up right where we left off. Bad defense and walks.

[Lefty Specialist]

The walk problem needs to be addressed next year, either with new pitchers, a new pitching coach, or both.
